Contests & Promotions

It has been a while since I reported for a tourney but today was one of those days where I had to write about. Last time, I reported a tourney using Proteus Belcher. Now, I decided to use traditional U/W Control. It may not be tier one, but it comes very close to it. I played in a tourney with 16 people. All types of decks were used, but only I ran U/W Control . . . Ravager Affinity, Goblin Bidding, U/R and U/W March of the Machines

This is my first tourney using this deck, so I wasn't used to the sideboard or got the feel of the deck completely. I had some past run-ins against this deck, so I had an idea on how to use it. This is very slow. It cost me the first game even though I came back later. For me, this was a battle of counter spells and speed.

Round 1 (1-1-1) (Goblin Bidding)This was the most boring game ever. The first game gave me the draw. It was a grueling 35 min game. Counterspell

and Piledrivers. I was blue mana screwed and Wrath never came up. When we started round three, there was three minutes left in the round. I had to mulligan twice, so all three minutes were spent on shuffling. Onward to round two.

Round 2 (0-2) (Goblin Bidding)Here goes another Goblin Bidding deck. It was the same as the one in round one except that this one ran Goblin Goon

never came. He managed to play a Bidding. My counters wasn't enough to stop him. Round two was just as bad. None of my sideboard cards came out and I was getting pounded my Piledriver and Warchief. In both of the games I side boarded in Scrabbling Claws

Round 5 (2-1) (Goblin Bidding)The same deck I lost to on round 2 faces me again. It was good that I got my rematch. I personally don't like Goblins that much because they got overplayed. The game started and Goon was out early with a Warchief and some 1 mana goblins. No protection for me as I lost the game. Round 2 and round 3 were more in my favor. He drew bad hands as Mindslaver

IGZvciBLbm93bGVkZ2U= in response. I got more land and was ready with 4 counters in my hand. The third March came out and I rush of counters came out. I he won the counter spell battle but left himself tapped out. I took like 14 damage and Vengeance

wasn't a mirror effect and that it only helped me out. He scooped and I took the win.

Many new decks were out there that I never saw. Some were really good decks, but they couldn't handle my U/W Control deck. I will be going next week to compete and try to win first again. If you have any ideas on how to make the deck better, just post it up. This deck is good but it will be leaving in a few short months. Will be any good in extended?
